  • Publication number: 20110243399
    Abstract: A paper-sheet processing apparatus including a reading unit, a risk-level determining unit, and a check processing unit is provided. The reading unit reads, from a check, check information containing a signature image of a signature written on the check. The risk-level determining unit determines a risk level of the check based on a matching result between the signature image read by the reading unit and a reference signature image registered as an object to be matched with the signature image. The check processing unit processes the check based on a processing content corresponding to the risk level determined by the risk-level determining unit.

  • Publication number: 20110243422
    Abstract: A paper-sheet processing apparatus including a reading unit, a risk-level determining unit, and a check processing unit is provided. The reading unit reads, from a check, check information containing drawer information for identifying a drawer of the check. The risk-level determining unit acquires a transaction history associated with a check in the name of the drawer based on the drawer information read by the reading unit, and determines a risk level of the check based on a comparison result between the acquired transaction history and the check information read by the reading unit. The check processing unit processes the check based on a processing content corresponding to the risk level determined by the risk-level determining unit.

  • Publication number: 20040205657
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data linking method, for use in design development work, that solves the problem of the need to re-enter data or of a delay in reflecting data that may occur when a progress management unit, a review management unit, and a pending issue management unit for work items perform operation independently. The method according to the present invention creates a review report template including review items defined by a review report management system and pending issues registered with a pending issue management system, extracts pending issues and approved information from a review report created based on the review report template, registers the extracted pending issues and information with the pending issue management system, calculates a solution status and a discussion status of the document from the review report, and registers the calculated status with an work item management system.

  • Patent number: 6483407
    Abstract: In an electromagnetic relay wherein one of the flanges 2b of the spool 2 is located inside of the opening of the case and a stationary terminal 11 is attached to this spool 2, the problem of dust occurrence due to the attachment of the stationary terminal 11 is solved so as to implement the attachment of the stationary terminal (in particular, a portion to which a stationary contact point 10 is provided) in an excellent condition. In order to achieve this, protruding portions 11e and 11f extending from the stationary terminal 10 are compressively inserted into through holes 2e and 2f configured in the flange 2b and the vicinity of the stationary contact point of the stationary terminal 11 is engaged with the engagement portion 2f formed on the other flange 2a and, thereby, the stationary terminal 11 is attached to this structure.

  • Patent number: 4816794
    Abstract: The electromagnetic relay has a pair of normally closed and normally open fixed terminals which are disposed opposing each other. At least two normally closed fixed contacts are mounted on the normally closed fixed terminal, and at least two normally open fixed contacts are mounted on the normally open fixed terminal. The normally closed and normally open fixed terminals are commonly used by a plurality of relay units. Therefore, the relay can be small enough to be installed on a small area, and allows high-density electric circuits to be provided on circuit boards.
